10000 punches, and the punches will each

Day after day poor Iuddi continued the
task which she began to think was hope

wisdom enough TO know that there was
not the remotest chance of their keeping il

Relative Value of Cows.

One of the maxims recently laid down
by the Prairie Farmer runs: "A COW that
with the same feed and care will give
eleven quarts of milk day is 10 per
cent clear profit over the COW that gives
ten quarts day" But this does not state
the difference strongly enough. If we
assume seven quarts per day as the
amount which will pay tor the care and
feed of the cow the. ten quart COW gives
her owner clean profit of three quarts of
milk per day while the eleven quart COW
gives tour quarts Of profit. That is. the
latter gives clear profit one-third greater
than the former instead of one-tenth
greater. The extra quart. therefore. gives
her considerably higher comparative
value than is credited to her in the
maxim The fact is one that we are
prone to overlook. The profit is entirely
in the product which comes after the ex-
pense account is pad. 1t is the last three
or four quarts that count. By the way, a
cow that averages ten quarts per day for
800 DAYS is a fair COW, according TO the
standard set up last week. When feed Is
high, wheat bran, for instance, costing
SIS ton, and other feed in proportion, a
cow that gives seven quarts dav for an
average of 800 days, and goes dry sixty
five days, will paw but little more than her
keeping at the average prices paid tor
milk about eastern cities.

Sheep or Dogs?

At the late session of the State Grange
a committee was appointed to present to
the legislature a plan for the protection of
sheep husbandry against the ravages of
dogs, or something to this effect The
subject is most important one. and should
be carefully considered for it is a ques-
ton whether we will keep sheep or dogs,
and which will be the more profitable. 1t
is fact that in many eases in our State,
especially within few miles Of our large
towns and villages. the injury done to
sheep by vicious dogs is so great that
farmers have been obliged in many in
stances to discontinue sheep keeping. al
though it was one of the most profitable
branches of farming. Now which shall
we protect by law. dogs or sheep-the
worthless or the valuable This is the
matter for the committee to present to the
legislature and we trust it will be done
in a way to command their attention and
respect.
We find few interesting facts bearing
upon this subject in the report of the Ohio
Board OF Agriculture for the year 1885.
Returns from assessors show that in one
year 29.OO6 sheep were killed by dogs in
that State. and in addition 1884 were

latter s35, O98-or q total of e117 900
worth of sheep killed or injured BY dogs
in that one State This is q startling
showing, and while it is much less in this
State, vet the total amount OF loss to sheep
from dogs would, we have no doubt, run
up into the thousands every year. We
must do some: hing about 1.-THE dogs or
the sheep should have protection. Which
